Finally breaking down and looking into smart phones. But the info I get is confusing.
Looking into various plans we find unhelpful info from the providers.
We'll probably buy our phones outright & go with a no contract plan.
Cost is important.
We don't text & probably won't.
So, questions, in no particular order:
1. Red Pocket Mobile: Any good? Are there a lot of dead zones or is there coverage pretty good? Their pamphlet mentions "unlimited MMS" What are MMS?
2. 500 MB mobile web: Enough? $10 more ($60/mo.) for 2 GB. Is that worth it?
3. Do you find coverage good (or bad) with your provider? Which ones have the best coverage & which are worst?
4. Simple Mobile: Again, any good? What about Virgin, Boost, Cricket, Net 10, and all the others?
5. Any gotchas from your provider?
6. Good places to unlock a phone? Cost?
7. Any advice?
Thanks
